“Enough that there’s a whole enterprise here with a private army. There’s this bit that very politely notes that breaking the rules will get you hunted down and executed by Subjects, capital S.
That would be what happened to the Dealer.
So how many vials did the Dealer buy? Or did he, as I had thought, steal them?
Clients are warned that these guys are entirely loyal to Cauldron, will not accept bribes. And these Subjects are apparently something different from Deviations.”
I’m thinking Deviations are the Case 53s, and Subjects are test subjects that didn’t become monstrous.
“Cauldron calls us Subjects. The PRT calls us Case 53s,” a voice said from above us.

Newter?
“Regular people call us monsters.”
Ouch.
Somehow “monster” feels more insulting than “monstrous”. I assure you, I’m only using “monstrous” as a value-neutral description for lack of a better one (”Case 53s” doesn’t count, I’m lacking an adjective, not a noun).
What presumably-Newter is saying here does seem to imply that the Case 53s are not Deviations, though.
